10” seems much higher than that number. I’m not saying it couldn’t have happened, but I am being skeptical.
My wife just told me she got 9" last night after I went to bed. I slept right through it.
San Francisco supposedly got 5.5” according to the local newspaper.

It tends to elevation specific, with higher grounds and hills/mountains getting more.
We have one weak point. A generator sits right in the back of the back door of the kitchen. When heavy rain hits, water starts to accumulate. Over the years, water has risen in that area. The house has never been menaced.
At Christmas of 2021, I found something quite interesting. It was called "Quick Dam." Its official name was Flood Bags and Barriers. I paid $30.00 for this device. When it arrived, I showed the device to Elena. She shrugged her shoulders as if to say that she doubted that we would ever need it.
Yesterday we had an atmospheric river with over 10 inches of rain. For the first time in our 19 years in the house, flood waters menaced the back door of the house. It appeared that water would flood into the kitchen and dining room area.
I deployed the barrier under the back door. I love things that are elegantly simple and are "think out of the box" original. When you stack the barrier and deploy it, water is absorbed. The barrier inflates. It becomes like sandbags place to stop flood waters. No water came into the kitchen or dining room. Elena worked hard and cooked us an incredible roast beef dinner with vegetables for our New Year's Eve dinner. The year ended well.
